Answer: he had 50 marbles at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that he had at first.

He gave 2/5 of his marble to his neighbour. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his neighbour is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

The number of marbles that he has remaining is

x - 2x/5 = 3x/5

He gave 1/6 of the remainder to his friend Ali. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his friend is

1/6 × 3x/5 = x/10

The number of marbles that he has left is

3x/5 - x/10 = 5x/10

He had 25 marbles left. It means that

5x/10 = 25

5x = 25 × 10 = 250

x = 250/5 = 50

What is the area of this triangle?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Area of the given triangle = 6.51 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

If we redraw the triangle as shown in the figure attached we get the height of the triangle as x feet and base = 4.3 feet

Therefore area of ΔABC = (1/2) × Height (AD) × Base(BC)

From ΔABD

sin 53 = AD/AB = x/3.8

x = 3.8 × sin 53

= 3.8 × 0.7986 = 3.03 feet

Now area of ΔABC = (1/2)×3.03×4.3 = 6.51 feet²
